    Looked in on England against Norway last night. I am sure we have our own opinions about England but what an awful kit!! I know the Norwegians are a tall race but they were made to look like giants with England in that outfit! If England are to get beyond the group stage they need an imposing colour scheme - drop the palid white and last night costume and play in red shirt, white shorts and socks!

    I think the collars look a bit silly.

    Even by England's extremely high standards, this is a phenomenal excuse.

    I agree, not a fan of it myself. However I am happy with the new home kit, I like it.

    Always preferred England in white and red, the navy just bugged me. I know it's in our FA's badge but our national flag is predominantly white with red, and so should our kit be in my eyes.

    The goalkeeping kit is worst of all.

    We could always go back to our pre-Roman roots and play in the buff (well, with football boots)

    Oh no, I didn't mention that because I want the ladies' teams play that way, just in pre-Roman Britain people used to fight in the buff. Anyhow, it would be a really bad idea as I'd rather not see John Terry's meat and two veg.

    So annoyed I missed the cup final yesterday though, stupid BBC for not advertising it (well, not clearly). For example if you go to the fixtures section and select all fixtures, they don't even show women's football fixtures..... Grrrrr. Media coverage of women's football is pathetic.

    Loathed our blue kit. I watched the whole game and even towards the end I would forget and think we were the team in red/white. We could have played in a white top with blue shorts...wouldn't have clashed.

    If it makes anyone feel better, we probably won't be playing anyone in White in the Euros.
